    I love math. I hate doing math. Does that make sense? Yes it does.

    I am decent at Math. Not extraordinarily wonderful, not excruciatingly terrible. Just decent.

    I, uh... teach the maths so I guess I must like them, eh? Only up through the high school algebra though. I'm an algebra person, not a geometry person. And no trig or calculus, thanks.

    But I'm a wizard at teaching fractions.

    You may think that you don't need fancy math for day to day life, but if you look for it, you will find it there. Just because your check book doesn't take calculus to solve doesn't mean that you can't use the definition of a limit to find the asymptote your income will reach because the raises to your job's wages will reach a sort of equilibrium with the inflation you have to pay. And if that number is too low, you know you need a new job

    you could just estimate that in your head, we're all excellent estimators, but running the numbers is very satisfying

    plus, how do you find the the magnetic flux passing through a loop when you're building a motor if you can't integrate the magnetic field?

    I hate Math(s). I got an A* at GCSE for some bizarre reason and I dropped it half way through the first year in college. Way too smurfing hard.

    Like I said. Useless for day to day living.

    I think coursework played a good part in me getting an A* in maths, I honestly thought I didn't do that great in the papers.

    Did you take it into college? or your equivalent to college? As soon as my GCSEs are over, I can rip up my Maths books and never even look at the subject again, as there is no way on earth I am taking it for college I love my English and my Sociology, I don't need to take Maths. One of my friends, whose already doing compulsory Maths and opted to do Statistics on top of that for GCSE, is taking Maths and Further Maths at college xD
    I've never been to college. But, I did take it in my 6th Form equivalent. Got an A. But, I'm not taking it any further than this. I could have done Advanced Maths this year, but I chose not to.

    Ugh, I hate math. My worst subject by far. Or I should say, I hate absurd pointless math, such as long ass equations that are of no use to me whatsoever in the real world (i.e. 12a(234x+21b-234/2)(23) = 287w-8-(224[77754]x), etc etc etc). I don't mind elementary school level math.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I like maths, and I'm pretty good at it, but I'm careless and make sloppy mistakes. You can't afford that in such an exact science.

    I adore maths. I honestly think the mysteries of the universe can be found in numbers. I average about 95%+ on my mathematic-based modules at Uni.
